Resumo
Considering contemporary studies on attitudes towards death and the
dead, we will consider, given the documentary, thematic and historical
relevance, some epitaphs for females present in the region of Mediolanum,
the modern city of Milan. We know that, although we do not have
remains of necropolises, as in Isola Sacra, the mortuary evidences present
at Civico Museo Archeologico di Milano exhibit a wide range of stone stelae,
lastras of funeral monuments with stone garlands, marble funeral altars
and urns, highlighting the richness of a region known, at the time of 49
BC, as municipium ciuium romanorum. In this respect, it becomes relevant
to analyze, for example, a gorgeous stela, dated between the last years of
the second century AD, as a rare testimony of a woman who,
undoubtedly, with a strong personality, commissions the funeral
monument to her relatives. Thenceforth, we understand that the epitaphs
immortalized the deceased as well as stimulated the pietas of their
relatives. Thus, in referring to the sepulchral epigraphy, we emphasize
the connections and symbology between written and spoken words, for,
thus conceived, ritual repetition evoked the memory of the deceased.
